Storage of Project Water Outside of Service Area. (1) A contractor may elect to store project water outside its service area for later use within its service area, up to the limits and in accordance with the provisions provided for in this subdivision (c) and any applicable water right laws, by setting forth on the preliminary water delivery schedule submitted to the State on or before October 1 of each year pursuant to Article 12(a) the quantity of project water it wishes to store in the next succeeding year. There shall be no limit on the amount of project water a contractor can store outside its service area during any year in a then existing and operational groundwater storage program. The amount of project water a contractor can add to storage in project surface conservation facilities and in nonproject surface storage facilities located outside the contractor’s service area each year shall be limited to the lesser of the percent of the contractor’s Table A annual entitlement shown in column 2 or the acre-feet shown in column 3 of the following table, depending on the State’s final water supply allocation percentage as shown in column 1. However, there shall be no limit to storage in nonproject facilities in a year in which the State’s final water supply allocation percentage is one hundred percent. These limits shall not apply to water stored pursuant to Article 12(e). 1. Final Water Supply Allocation Percentage 2. Maximum Percent of Agency’s Annual Entitlement That Can be Stored 3. Maximum Acre-Feet That Can be Stored 50% or less 25% 100,000 51% 26% 104,000 52% 27% 108,000 53% 28% 112,000 54% 29% 116,000 55% 30% 120,000 56% 31% 124,000 57% 32% 128,000 58% 33% 132,000 59% 34% 136,000 60% 35% 140,000 61% 36% 144,000 62% 37% 148,000 63% 38% 152,000 64% 39% 156,000 65% 40% 160,000 66% 41% 164,000 67% 42% 168,000 68% 43% 172,000 69% 44% 176,000 70% 45% 180,000 71% 46% 184,000 72% 47% 188,000 73% 48% 192,000 74% 49% 196,000 75% or more 50% 200,000 (2) Storage capacity in project surface conservation facilities at any time in excess of that needed for project operations shall be made available to requesting contractors for storage of project and nonproject water. If such storage requests exceed the available storage capacity, the available capacity shall be allocated among contractors requesting storage in proportion to their annual entitlements designated in their Table A’s for that year. A contractor may store water in excess of its allocated share of capacity as long as capacity is available for such storage. (3) If the State determines that a reallocation of excess storage capacity is needed as a result of project operations or because of the exercise of a contractor’s storage right, the available capacity shall be reallocated among contractors requesting storage in proportion to their annual entitlements designated in their Table A’s for that year. If such reallocation results in the need to displace water from the storage balance for any contractor or noncontractor, the water to be displaced shall be displaced in the following order of priority: First, water, if any, stored for noncontractors. Second, water stored for a contractor that previously was in excess of that contractor’s allocation of storage capacity.

(6) For any project water stored outside its service area pursuant to this subdivision (c), a contractor shall pay the State the same (including adjustments) for power resources (including on-aqueduct, off-aqueduct, and any other power) incurred in the transportation of such water as the contractor pays for the transportation of annual entitlement to the reach of the project transportation facility from which the water is delivered to storage. If annual entitlement is stored, the Delta Water Charge shall be charged only in the year of delivery to interim storage. For any stored water returned to a project transportation facility for final delivery to its service area, the contractor shall pay the State the same for power resources (including on-aqueduct, off-aqueduct, and any other power) incurred in the transportation of such water calculated from the point of return to the aqueduct to the turn-out in the contractor’s service area. In addition, the contractor shall pay all incremental operation, maintenance, and replacement costs, and any other incremental costs, as determined by the State, which shall not include any administrative or contract preparation charge. Incremental costs shall mean those nonpower costs which would not be incurred if such water were scheduled for or delivered to the contractor’s service area instead of to interim storage outside the service area. Only those contractors not participating in the repayment of a reach shall be required to pay a use of facilities charge for use of a reach for the delivery of water to, or return of water from, interim storage. (7) A contractor electing to store project water in a nonproject facility within the service area of another contractor shall execute a contract with that other contractor prior to storing such water which shall be in conformity with this article and will include at least provisions concerning the point of delivery and the time and method for transporting such water.

(6) For any project water stored outside its service area pursuant to this subdivision (c), a contractor shall pay the State the same (including adjustments) for power resources (including on-aqueduct, off-aqueduct, and any other power) incurred in the transportation of such water as the contractor pays for the transportation of annual entitlement to the reach of the project transportation facility from which the water is delivered to storage. If annual entitlement is stored, the Delta Water Charge shall be charged only in the year of delivery to interim storage. For any stored water returned to a project transportation facility for final delivery to its service area, the contractor shall pay the State the same for power resources (including on-aqueduct, off-aqueduct, and any other power) incurred in the transportation of such water calculated from the point of return to the aqueduct to the turn-out in the contractor’s service area. In addition, the contractor shall pay all incremental operation, maintenance, and replacement costs, and any other incremental costs, as determined by the State, which shall not include any administrative or contract preparation charge. Incremental costs shall mean those nonpower costs which would not be incurred if such water were scheduled for or delivered to the contractor’s service area instead of to interim storage outside the service area. Only those contractors not participating in the repayment of a reach shall be required to pay a use of facilities charge for use of a reach for the delivery of water to, or return of water from, interim storage.

Maximum Acre-Feet That Can be Stored 50% or less 25% 100,000 51% 26% 104,000 52% 27% 108,000 53% 28% 112,000 54% 29% 116,000 55% 30% 120,000 56% 31% 124,000 57% 32% 128,000 58% 33% 132,000 59% 34% 136,000 60% 35% 140,000 61% 36% 144,000 62% 37% 148,000 63% 38% 152,000 64% 39% 156,000 65% 40% 160,000 66% 41% 164,000 67% 42% 168,000 68% 43% 172,000 69% 44% 176,000 70% 45% 180,000 71% 46% 184,000 72% 47% 188,000 73% 48% 192,000 74% 49% 196,000 75% or more 50% 200,000 (2) Storage capacity in project surface conservation facilities at any time in excess of that needed for project operations shall be made available to requesting contractors for storage of project and nonproject water. If such storage requests exceed the available storage capacity, the available capacity shall be allocated among contractors requesting storage in proportion to their annual entitlements designated in their Table A’s for that year. A contractor may store water in excess of its allocated share of capacity as long as capacity is available for such storage. (3) If the State determines that a reallocation of excess storage capacity is needed as a result of project operations or because of the exercise of a contractor’s storage right, the available capacity shall be reallocated among contractors requesting storage in proportion to their annual entitlements designated in their Table A’s for that year. If such reallocation results in the need to displace water from the storage balance for any contractor or noncontractor, the water to be displaced shall be displaced in the following order of priority: First, water, if any, stored for noncontractors. Second, water stored for a contractor that previously was in excess of that contractor’s allocation of storage capacity. Third, water stored for a contractor that previously was within that contractor’s allocated storage capacity. The State shall give as much notice as feasible of a potential displacement. (4) Any contractor electing to store project water outside its service area pursuant to this subdivision may not sell project water under the provisions of subdivision (d) of this article during the year in which it elected to store project water. This limitation shall not apply to replacement water furnished to Castaic and Perris Reservoirs pursuant to Article 54, nor to the storage of water introduced into a groundwater basin outside a contractor’s service area if recovery is intended to occur within that contractor’s service area. (5) The restrictions on storage of project water outside a contractor’s service area provided for in this subdivision (c), shall not apply to storage in any project offstream storage facilities constructed south of the Delta after the date of this amendment. (6) For any project water stored outside its service area pursuant to this subdivision (c), a contractor shall pay the State the same (including adjustments) for power resources (including on-aqueduct, off-aqueduct, and any other power) incurred in the transportation of such water as the contractor pays for the transportation of annual entitlement to the reach of the project transportation facility from which the water is delivered to storage. If annual entitlement is stored, the Delta Water Charge shall be charged only in the year of delivery to interim storage. For any stored water returned to a project transportation facility for final delivery to its service area, the contractor shall pay the State the same for power resources (including on-aqueduct, off-aqueduct, and any other power) incurred in the transportation of such water calculated from the point of return to the aqueduct to the turn-out in the contractor’s service area. In addition, the contractor shall pay all incremental operation, maintenance, and replacement costs, and any other incremental costs, as determined by the State, which shall not include any administrative or contract preparation charge. Incremental costs shall mean those nonpower costs which would not be incurred if such water were scheduled for or delivered to the contractor’s service area instead of to interim storage outside the service area. Only those contractors not participating in the repayment of a reach shall be required to pay a use of facilities charge for use of a reach for the delivery of water to, or return of water from, interim storage. (7) A contractor electing to store project water in a nonproject facility within the service area of another contractor shall execute a contract with that other contractor prior to storing such water which shall be in conformity with this article and will include at least provisions concerning the point of delivery and the time and method for transporting such water.

Storage of Project Water Outside of Service Area. (1) A contractor may elect to store project water outside its service area for later use within its service area, up to the limits and in accordance with the provisions provided for in this subdivision (c) and any applicable water right laws, by setting forth on the preliminary water delivery schedule submitted to the State on or before October 1 of each year pursuant to Article 12(a) the quantity of project water it wishes to store in the next succeeding year. There shall be no limit on the amount of project water a contractor can store outside its service area during any year in a then existing and operational groundwater storage program. The amount of project water a contractor can add to storage in project surface conservation facilities and in nonproject surface storage facilities located outside the contractor’s service area each year shall be limited to the lesser of the percent of the contractor’s Table A annual entitlement shown in column 2 or the acre-feet shown in column 3 of the following table, depending on the State’s final water supply allocation percentage as shown in column 1. However, there shall be no limit to storage in nonproject facilities in a year in which the State’s final water supply allocation percentage is one hundred percent. These limits shall not apply to water stored pursuant to Article 12(e). 1. Final Water Supply Allocation Percentage 2. Maximum Percent of Agency’s Annual Entitlement That Can be Stored 3. Maximum Acre-Feet That Can be Stored 50% or less 25% 100,000 51% 26% 104,000 52% 27% 108,000 53% 28% 112,000 54% 29% 116,000 55% 30% 120,000 56% 31% 124,000 57% 32% 128,000 58% 33% 132,000 59% 34% 136,000 60% 35% 140,000 61% 36% 144,000 62% 37% 148,000 63% 38% 152,000 64% 39% 156,000 65% 40% 160,000 66% 41% 164,000 67% 42% 168,000 68% 43% 172,000 69% 44% 176,000 70% 45% 180,000 71% 46% 184,000 72% 47% 188,000 73% 48% 192,000 74% 49% 196,000 75% or more 50% 200,000 (2) Storage capacity in project surface conservation facilities at any time in excess of that needed for project operations shall be made available to requesting contractors for storage of project and nonproject water.
